Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner recently purchased two cabins in Okoboji, one on the water, and one for family to stay in when they came to visit. While she didn't know that her foundation walls were problematic when she purchased the cabin for her family to stay at, she quickly noticed the wall crumbling and she was unsure of what to do. She saw our team doing work across the street for a neighbor, and she came over to see if we could take a look at her wall.

Service Technician Wes Marshall came right over after he finished up his original project to inspect this homeowner's walls. Wes found that the north foundation wall was starting to crumble into pieces and that the wall was starting to slide inwards, past the bottom brick. Wes realized that this was a big problem that could be solved if the homeowner acted quickly. Our team got to work quickly installing our EverBrace System which is used only in extreme cases of wall failure because it acts as a new foundation wall. 

The homeowner was so happy with the finished product and she was relieved that she didn't need to have a new foundation wall poured for the cabin. Check out her EverBrace System!

This homeowner was ready to remodel the upstairs of her home, when she noticed that all the floors were sloping towards the middle of the home. She recognized that something was wrong and unstable about her home, so she wanted to fix this issue before remodeling. She gave us a call to have an inspection done on her home.

We sent System Design Specialist Anthony Salcedo to inspect the foundation and give the customer a comprehensive explanation of the problem. Anthony noticed that the floors were sagging due to an interior support beam that was sloping significantly due to a lack of support posts. Anthony and his team knew just what to do, so they began work right away when the customer decided on the solution she would move forward with. The team removed both existing posts and began drilling two helical soil nails deep into the earth. The Helical Piers System can support our SmartJacks, which were then installed so that the home's support beam now has proper support posts that run deep into the earth. 

The homeowner was very impressed with the whole process and the installation. Check out her home's new support system!

These homeowners are loyal customers of Thrasher. They initially were hopeful that their foundation walls only needed a PowerBrace System to stabilize their foundation over time, however they noticed that their walls were still collapsing in the house regardless of how tight they made their PowerBrace System. Knowing of their warranty and other options we offer, they gave us a call to find a new solution.

We sent Service Technician Jason White to find a new solution to the collapsing foundation walls. Jason gave these homeowners our Ever Brace System to stabilize the foundation walls. The homeowners were extremely happy that we were able to help them again and they were thankful that we are able to know their problem and discuss options to solve it. Check out their new Ever Brace System!

This homeowner's forever home was starting to settle. She at first noticed that the tiles in her kitchen had been pulling up. After fully replacing them twice, the problem of kept happening. Concerned about her home, she decided to give us a call after her family gave her our name.

We sent System Design Specialist Tom Studer to inspect the interior and exterior issues that happened in this homeowner's house. Tom pinpointed settled foundation areas and proposed a plan to stabilize these areas for the long term. The homeowner was relieved that this could be fixed permanently, so she went forward with the project. Tom and his team got straight to work utilizing a push pier system to stabilize the home. This system pushed the home back to its original level and it will keep it stabilized there. 

The homeowner was extremely happy with the clean-up process and how friendly the crews were. Check out her lifted home!

Russ M. and his brother own a building that is over one hundred years old. They began to notice there were cracks in the foundation walls, and the floors began to sag. They knew it was time to find a solution to help with their settling building. Foundation begins to crack and settle simply because of the dirt or soil it is sitting on. Over time, soil begins to erode and shift, causing the weight of the structure to shift with the movement as well. This will cause cracking, settling, and even sinking floors. 

For this job, Push Piers were installed. This product is made of galvanized steel and allows our team to push down into the earth, to help lift the existing structure. These piers were installed on the inside of the structure, underneath the flooring. Russ and his brother can now rest easy that this one-hundred-year-old building will be preserved for the future.
